Tpcodl replacing meters forcefully?

Everything was all good for long years, suddenly this message comes, also I heard from few others and also bill collection person confirmed I have to replace meters as few series meters appears defective to them.

Also we have to pay the metee cost again. Is this a legal scam or what?
